BEATRIFUL Sessions

The Complete Quarantine Tapes, second half. The world shuts and a small black dog arrives: hotel quarantine, a leap from a marble bath, Melbourne's five-kilometre bubble, a seagull and a rat, an empty apartment on Collins Street, four days with a possum trap, a stolen laptop, a divorce signed on a screen in The Hague, two soft toys, and six dead numbers. SizzleC walks songs 11 to 20 with the host.

Six days in June 1886: the fourteen-million-mark debt, the night sleigh, the medical commission that declared Ludwig II insane unseen, the siege at the Neuschwanstein gatehouse, the betrayal, the carriage to Berg, the calm walk with Dr. Gudden and the two bodies in Lake Starnberg with the watch stopped at 6:54. SizzleC walks all ten songs; the rave inside the replica castle is the album's invention, the six days are the record.

Trudi Reppi couldn't make it; she's focusing on her sobriety. Her producer Chris Johns walks the whole of Album I in order: Sodus Point and the Dead Lot, Rochester, the vestibule on 45th, Rick, the vow of March 6 2023, Robbie, Connecticut, Markey, and the Queen walking out the gate; how the two met, and why she was the spark for everything he builds now.

The Complete Quarantine Tapes, first half. Two voices, six years, seven cities, every song one incident told flat: Taipei at 4 AM, a border in the sleet, blue pills in a rental room, a kitten above Seattle, a corn cob, a Berlin lockdown, a pitch on King Street, an airport escape, a needle, and the smallest wish on the album. SizzleC walks songs 1 to 10 with the host.

Ten nights in a Hudson Yards tower and a black Cadillac on 9th Avenue, and a host who does not let SizzleC off the hook: what was in the bag, whose coat it was, whether the bird on the balcony was a pigeon or a girl, and who was right in the refuse room. Two voices on the album; he never says which one is his. All ten songs, in order.

A private members' club that is also a trading floor of storefronts. Chris Johns, Ty Pound £ign's producer and business partner, explains the name (money, not the keypad), the cap-rate hook, the Ty roll call, the real Sherwin-Williams numbers, credit tenants, corporate guarantees and the 1031 clock; both songs in full.

After the treaty: the wooden crown, the alliance in the hills, the viceroy who can't sleep, the old man's handover, and the wedding song that carried it all — La Bamba.

An enslaved African man leads an escape into the mountains of Veracruz and holds a free settlement for forty years, until the Spanish crown has to sign.

One summer on the Monongahela: Carnegie in Scotland, Frick at the fence, the Pinkerton barges, the battle, the militia, the assassin, and the marble the money became.

Ten songs, one night in ancient Rome: the Palatine by day, the Suburra by night, the wager, the wedding, the gardens, and the name they tried to erase.
